The editor of the Ponca Gazette says :
The people of Ponca often mourn that
they are not on the main line of some
railroad , but there is no great loss
without some small grain. Ponca
knows nothing of the tramp nuisance
which is now troubling all towns on
the main lines of travel. Oakland ,
Neb. , reports 300 tramps in one week ,
and they all have to be fed by some
body.
Rebecca Baker of Plattsmouth , 18
years of age , took a dose of medicine
for the purpose of inducing perpetual
sleep. She wrote a note stating that
she had taken her own life because she
did not want to live longer , and gave
it to a friend with instructions not to
hand it to Mrs. Holloway before G
o'clock. She took the poison , but was
saved by a physician. It was a matter
of disappointment in love.
A Salem dispatch saj's : About 100
tents already dot the Chautauqua
grounds and another 100 go up tomor
row. Rev. Sam P. Jones will arrive
tomorrow afternoon and with Superin
tendent Small and the Apollo quartet
a splendid intellectual feast will mark
the * opening days of the assembly. The
grounds are in splendid condition and
everything now points to the most
successful assembly ever held in Salem.
One of the most violent hail storms
ever experienced in Nebraska visited
Edgar and immediate vicinity. Hail
stones fell with such force as to shat
ter window panes , sash and shutlers.
In one or two instances shingles were
splintered and house roofs partially de
molished. Trees were bare of leaves
and branches , and growing ciops for a
limited district were literally pounded
into the ground. With hardly an ex
ception every west side window in the
town was shattered.
A fel'ow who will go ofE to a dance
and leave his wife and chifdren at home
hungry and almost naked ought not be
allo.ved to live in a civilized communi
ty , says the Arlington Timet. This
outrageous'act was attempted recently
at Arlington , but the fellow was po
litely taken out of the wagon by one of
our citizens and given to understand
that he had to stay at home and give
the money he was to have squandered
at the dance to his wife for the support
of her and her children.
Jay E. White , manager of the Lin
coln Fire Insurance company , was in
Beatrice last week and heard the
grievances of the local board , and suc
ceeded in bringing about a settlement
that was entirely satisfactorj' to all
concerned without resorting to public
trial. G. L. Piatt withdrew his resig
nation from the local board and that
both sides relented. All the local
agents speaks in the highest terms of
Mr. White for the impartial manner in
which he handled the case.
Secretary Furnas is enthusiastic over
the prospects of the coming state fair.
He believes it will eclipse that of last
year. He made a visit to the state fair
grounds in company with Members
Vance and Dunham. One of the ob
jects of the trip was to arrange for the
enlargement of the secretary's quar
ters , which were cramped last year.
The other purpose was to look over the
grounds and buildings. It is intended
there shall be no lack of water and
transportation facilities will be ail
right
As Capt W. H. Beck , Indian agent
on the Omaha and Winnebago reserva
tion , accompanied by his wife and

were driving down a hill from his resi
dence to the agency the neckyoke
broke and the horses started to run ,
overturning the carriage , throwing Mr.
Hillis about twenty feet and injuring
him slightly. Captain Beck and wife
were thrown under the carriage and
injured more or less seriously.
There was a good attendance and
much interest in the meeting of the
State Horticultural society at York. A
paper on the most promising varieties
of native plums was read by H. A.
Terry of Crescent City , la. The var
ious kinds of plums that can be most
successful grown were discussed and
some good hints as to their culture
given. A comprehensive paper on
"Cross Breeding and Fertilizing Amer
ican , European and Japanese Plums"
was read by Theodore Williams of Ben
son. Williams has had experience with
1,500 varieties of plums and his talk
was of value. The display of plums
which he had proves his ability to in
telligently discuss such a subject
The reduction of grain rates by the
western roads has given King Corn a
boom and he is now the most popular
son of Ceres. The rates having been
reduced to Mississippi river points and
Chicago makes a corresponding reduc
tion in the rates to all the western
grain centers and the eastern men are
buying heavy of corn. The demand
for wheat , oats and other small gain is
naturally larger than it was before the
reduction , but corn seems to be most
in demand. Twice as many freight
trains as have been run will soon be
moving at this gait The price in Ne
braska has gone up several cents as a
result of the sudden call and the far
mers are shipping heavily throughout
the state.
Citizkxs of Johnson county are mak
ing arrangements to receive a party of
land seekers and land agents who will
visit Tecumseh soon. A special train
over the B. & M , will land the party ,
most of whom are from Iowa , Illinois
and Indiana , in that city. The band
will escort them to the court house
yard where a reception will be held
and the resources of the county exhib
ited in a fitting manner.
A Miss Eauder of Wymore died sud
denly the other evening and was buried
the next day. The report is current
that the case requires investigation
and Coroner Miller has decided to look
into the matter.
Misfortunes don't always come sing
ly. W. L. Brannin. of Richardson
county , has had it proven to him in
the last three months. His house and
barn were blown away and nearly all
of his stock killed. His wife was in
jured so that she died and he was seri
ously injured himself. Just as soon
as he got able to work one of his
horses laid down and died.

M'KINLEY TO VETERANS.
Old Soldiers Urj-ed to Stand Up for the
Gold Standard.
Canton , Ohio , Aug. 3 * Farmers ,
workingmen and old soldiers of ( Juei u-
sey county arrived here j'esterday
after a trp through flooded lowlands
nearly all of the waf from Cambridge.
After ex-Congressman .J. ( I Taylor
and Rev. W. M. McFarland of Cam
bridge had spoken. Mr. McKinley re
plied at some length , saying :
"When the war closed there weru
two great debts restiuy upon this gov
ernment. One was the debt due to the
men who had loaned the government
money with which to carry on its mil
itary operations. The other debt , was
due to the men who had willingly
offered their lives for the preservation
of the American union. The old sol
diers waited on their pensions until
this great debt of the government was
well out of the way. They waited
patiently until the government of the
United States had reduced neariy tivo-
thirds of that great , money debt.
They wanted every dollar of the debt
paid iu the best com known to the
commercial world. And every dollar
of that debt up to this hour lias been
paid in gold or its equivalent the
best recognized money of the world
and every dollar of that debt , my
comrades , yet to be paid will be paid
in the = iuie unquestioned coin.
"Most of that debt i.sout of the way.
The great debt of this government
now is to the surviving soldiers of the
republic. There are 970,000 pension
ers on the honored pension roll of this
government to-day and the govern
ment pays out of its public treasury in
pensions over$140,0Q0,000 every year to
the so' Hers and sailors , their widows
and their orphans. Every dollar of
that debt must be paid in the best
currency and coin of the world. ( Great
cheering and cries of "The Republi
can pirty will see to that. * ' ) There
is nobody more interested in main
taining a sound and .stable currency
than the old soldiers of the republic
( cries of "you are right , major" ) , their
widows and their orphans.
"Your oid commander , General
Grant ( applause ) , whose memory is
cheris . • • < ! by ail of you , performed
two great and conspicuous acts while
President of the United States ; one
the veto of the inflation bill that
would have cast us upon the sea of a
depreciated currency , and the other
was the signing of the act for the re
sumption of the specie payments , that
placed every dollar of our money upon
the sound foundation of financial
honor and unquestioned national
honesty ; and the old soldiers this
year , as in all of the years of the past ,
following their old commander , will
stand by the financial honor of the
government and will no more permit
our nation's integrity to be questioned
than they would permit that flag
( pointing to an American flag ) to bo
assailed. "
PAID IN SILVER.
Some of the Kmployes of the Santa Fe
Get Bland Dollars.
ToPEKA , Kan. , Aug. 3. Cashier
Copeland of the treasurer's depar-
ment of the Santa Fe railway com
pany yesterday gave to some of the
employes of the general offices a
lesson in free silver , by paying salaries
in that coin.
The first man to present his check
was a high salaried employe , who re
ceives S' 'dO a month. He signed the
usual receipt , when the cashier j ushed
out of the little window twenty S10
packages. It was a big load , but the
man managed to carry it away. The
next man thought ho was in no hurry
to receive his pay and &aid he would
wait until the treasurer should get a
supply of paper money. Others were
not so particular and took the silver.
Soon the story got noised about the
building that the company had got on
a silver basis and clerks presented
themselves armed with waste baskets.
So the joke ran along until it was ap
parent that should silver payments be
continued the entire day would be
consumed , when the cashier returned
to paper payments.

HIS LETTER ACCEPTING PHE
PROHIBITION NOMINATION.
Ills rosltlmi itrlcfly but Unmistakably

Money ThlnkH the Gold Democrats
Otigh * to Vote for Ulin Instead of Put

Political Views.
The Prohibition Candidate.
Bai.timoiie , Md. , July 3n.Joshua
Levering of this city was last evening
officially notified of his nomination
for the Presidency of the United
States by the Prohibition party. Prior
to the notification , the Maryland Pro
hibitionists held their state conven
tion and nominated electors in the
various Maryland districts. They also
paraded the streets of the city with
banners and music , the line of march
terminal ing at the Lyceum theater ,
wiiere the notification meeting was
held.
0. W. Stewart of Illinois , as chair
man of the committee on notification ,
delivered the address informing Lev
ering of his nomination. The latter
read from manuscript his letter of ac
ceptance , which is , in part , as follows :
"Such an honor is worthy the am
bition of any citizen of this great na
tion , but to my mind it is to be doubly
appreciated when tendered by the
onl3' political part } ' which has had the
courage to stand openly for the pro
tection of the home , the womanhood
and the children of our country
against the terrible ravages and de
struction of the legalized liquor trailic.
The Prohibition part } ' , conscious of
the integrity of its motives and pur
poses , and firm in its belief that the
question of a moral character should
take precedence over those purely
economical , has stood firm for a score
or more of years against all attacks
of ridicule , misrepresentation and
abuse made against it ; increasing its
numbers and gaining the esteem and
confidence of those who are not yet
williuL' to be enrolled under the ban
ner of 'Protection to the Home. '
"During all the years it has steadily
pursued its way in educating the people
ple to the constantly increasing en
croachment of the liquor traffic ,
knowing how it is undermining our
political and social life and interfer
ing with tke free expression of the
will of the people it the ballot box ,
controlling to a large extent the legis
lative bodies of the country , adding
heavily to she burdens of the already
overburdened taxpayers , and , above
ail , bringing suffering , sorrow , pov
erty and death to many of our fellow
citizens.
"The platform adopted by the con
vention meets my hearty approval ,
and , though based on the single issue ,
is. in reality , sufficiently broad to
allow all to stand on it who are op
posed to the saloon and its consequent
evils , regardless of their views on any
puolic questions of the day.
'I do not underestimate the fact
that there are other questions of
grave importance over which the pub
lic mind is seriously agitated , and
which are being pressed for speedy
settlement. There is tne question of
a stable and at the same time elastic
currency , equal to the demands of
business for every section of the coun
try , and } -et every dollar of which
should be of equal value and the whole
based on a standard equal to the best
interest in the world. The United
States cannot afford , without dishonor ,
to have money bearing its stamp in
ferior to that of any other country on
the globe.
"Again , a proper adjustment of the
tariff so that labor can have its iust
protection withoi't at the same time
giving undue projection to the manu
facturing interest , at the expense of
the great consuming portion of our
people , is of profound importance and
demands early solution. " '
Prior to the notification meeting ,
Mr. Levering , in an interview , said :
"I'do not bee any necessity for the
sound money Democrats who do not
wish to vote for McKinley to nominate
a third ticket. Let them vote the
Prohibition ticket. We shall have
electoral tickets in every state and
those Democrats and others who can
not conscientiously vote for either
Bryan or McKinley can vote for our
ticket. My views on the money ques
tion and on the tariff question are also
in aecor.t with the views of these people
ple in general and are decidedly
definite. * '
TURKEY PROTESTS.
Greece's Assistance to Cretan Rebels Ob
jected to i he Powers May Act.
Constantinople , July So. As a re
sult of a cabinet council , the Turkish
government made a formal complaint
to the government of Greece regard
ing the alleged shipment of arms and
ammunition from Greece to the island
of Crete , for the use of the insurgents
there , and relative to the appearance
of armed bands in Macedonia , point
ing out the danger theefrom to the
peace of Europe and adding that
Greece would be held responsible
for it.
The Turkish government ale an
nounced that it had been decided to
grant limited concessions to the Cre
tans and that they would be allowed
representation.
The powers , it is stated , have de
cided to send a collective note to
Greece declaring that the government
of the latter country must suppress the
matters complained of by the Turkish
government , otherwise the sultan of
Turkey will be ieft to restore order in
Crete. It is rumored here that the Tur
kish government intends to dispatch
a fores of Albanians against the Greek
.filibusters , which will undoubtedly
add consicerably to the gravity of the
situation.

New Yoiur , July 30. Frederick S. ) /l H
Gibbs , national Republican commit- \f H
teeman from this state , was one of > J H
the few favored guests at a meeting- T H
of the Eastern managers with Na- fH \
tional Chairman Hanna to-day. M
Whether Mr. Hanna looked upon Mr. ' ' ! H
'
Gibbs as a personal representative of Jf l
Mr. Piatt or not , the fact is patent. jfl l
that Mr. Gibbs docs represent that rll l
faction of the Republican party iu I H
Xew York. Mr. Hanna said : "Mr. Ji l
Piatt was not invited to the meeting Jf H
simply because he is not a member of" ll H
the committee Mr. Gibbs , the New Jl H
York state national committeeman , lil H
was invited by me to attend so that -yfl l
he may be kept iu touch with the.- fSf l
plans that may be formulated. Mr. vIsl H
Gibbs is New York's national commit- Vli H
teeman , and is responsible in a largo- < % |
measure , by virtue of his position , for 1 1
the resuit in this state. I fevl conii- j f H
dent that the Republican party in < ' J H
New York state will work harmoni- * J i H
ously for Mr. MeKinley's election " I | H
John Wanamaker of Philadelphia , n | H
ex-President Harrison and Mr. Hanna ' j H
met at the Fifth Avenue- hotel last \ J H
night. Mr. Hanna decliued to go in- ' 4 1
to details as to tlie questions discussed l
s
by the trio , but said : "Mr. Harrison > I |
will give us ail tne assistance wo may , J [ H
require of him. " * H |
The most important question to bo /Hfll
discussed will bens to the lines upon - 1
which the campaign will be con- ' 1 1
ducted. Frank S. Withcrbee and a 91 \ | H
delegation representing the American 'if |
Protective League will argue in favor 11 1
of making the fight upon the tariff if l
lines , while Melville E. Ingalls and 'J |
others of the financial and corpora- f H
tion world will ask that the financial |
question be kept uppermost. It is en- j H
tirely probable that Mr. Hanna's advice - ' H
vice to the committee will be for * |
working on both these platforms as * |
closely bound to each otiier. Mr. i |
Banna said to-day : "The financial |
and tariff questions cannot , in my ! 9
judgment , be divorced. Our financial flfl
depression or prosperity is due in the H
greatest measure to our tariff condi- H
tions. Mr. McKinley shares tiiis view f H
with me. " H
In carrying out this view Mr. Hanna H
will suggest that the Tariff league H
prosecute the fight vigorously on its Hewn
own Hues , and that those interested M
iu the financial question do similar H
work , the national committee giving H
assistance. It is planned that an immense - H
mense amount of literature will be- |
distributed. |
Mr. Quay was in consultation with. " M
Mr. Hanna for about an hour , but M
neither would say what the especial M
subject of their consultation was. M
The nominee for vice president , l | |
Garrett A. Hobart , arrived subse- f |
quently and was closeted with Mr. 1 1
Hanna for some time. At the con- |
elusion of the interview Mr. Hobart / |
'
said : ' 1 have told Mr. Hanna that 1 'H
intend staying in New Jersey during- M
the campaign , frequently coming over 1 1
to New York headquarters. I had * - , V B
plenty of experience in campaign. * $1
work as a national committeeman and H
Mr. Hanna thinks I can assist in New U
York headquarters. " ; * H
